EPIC Shop Lighting Upgrade! 50 Big Lights In One Shop! (INSANELY BRIGHT!!)

[@zoeybullard222]

While is a huge pain in the ass, painting the walls white helps a ton. It reflects the lights perfectly, while still not blinding you. It was a huge upgrade to my shop setup, just took a lot of time.

[@dechlan3463]

I agree, this really helps. I've seen a couple of people hire an electric spray gun and sprayed the walls of their shops/sheds. They just moved everything from the walls out into the middle, put some plastic over it all, and went to town spraying the walls. I understand Taylor and Ben may not be able to do this very easily due to all of the shelving, but the wall painting is a great idea.

[@Chris-nq6cm]

harbor freight has a 20 dollar electric spray gun, never used it but ive heard good things

[@DunkinDonutt]

The downside is the pallet racks. They don't have that much exposed wall to begin with.

[@Chris-nq6cm]

I think itd make some difference on the side walls, but yeah the shelves hide a lot

[@Halibrand]

I agree, i painted my shop a year ago. It took a weekend to do all the walls and roof but it was totally worth it! Just finnished putting white epoxy on the floor and its crazy to think that i have been working in that dark cave for 10+ years without all this brightness.

[@tcrc360]

1) I didn't realize until now that the shop has skylights in the back half of the roof. 2) Why are you trying to move shops again? The shop you have now is perfect... all the additional storage space for parts, trailers, a pool for hot days, cool neighbor Ale, and of most importantly, Ben, with unlimited Miata steering racks lol

[@uniquewhite1836]

tcrc360 I think he wants to move closer to were he used to be closer to fab shops or closer to places that builds the stuff he can’t build or just buy stuff like that I think that’s what he said I could be wrong

[@thedestroyer3262]

@@uniquewhite1836 i think he also wants to be closer to more of his friends.

[@crazymike401]

Hope you staying with Ben, you guys have put a lot of work into that place

[@mountainwild5474]

Same feeling but i'd like to see taylor make some moves of his own personally. @crazymike401

[@scottmoore6131]

crazymike401 he’s trying to buy his own house but he’s helping Ben before he moves he mentioned it before in a previous vlog.

[@Perumet]

Taylor you're such an inspiration for me. You are a perfect role model to help me figure out how to point my life in a different direction. I'm a dealer tech right now actively learning and working towards being able to have my own shop like yours, with the skills and knowledge to build cars like you do. Thank you!

[@Taylordrifts]

That’s so awesome man! Don’t stop hustling until you achieve what you want. You can make it happen.

[@trailerparkgarage6574]

You should probably know that the listing only says to link 3 of these together. Each should have there own power source from the power sub-panel

[@chrisbyers4726]

I have a feeling there isnt a permit submitted for electrical work. I dont see any new breakers even being added to the existing panel. KZbinrs are journeymen and expert mechanics and fabricators you already know this... Its like watching youtubers do these kill switch tutorials and they put a 10amp switch on a 10amp load. Curious, did you see what the consumption is on these shop lights?

[@ryanshreeve2129]

Taylor dude just wanted to take time to say thanks. Ever since your video at your old house on the 4 foot lights I have put them all over my damn house since it was built in the 70s It has very few rooms with overhead lighting but is wired for lamps that are tied into switches. It has been LOL life changing. I found the 8 foot versions about a year and a half ago and I have put 16 of them in my two car garage as well . And every time that I am in Lowes or Home Depot and see someone struggling to find lighting options I direct them to your video and Amazon. Even for being as simple as they are they are freaking amazing LOL.

[@chrisleduc7914]

Paint the walls white and it will make it even brighter in there.

[@802Garage]

Good lighting is so important. I just finished installing my second set of LED lights like your old smaller set. Love them, especially for the money. It is so time consuming going up and down ladders over and over though!

[@Taylordrifts]

It’s amazing how much difference lights can make!

[@802Garage]

@@Taylordrifts Still can't help me get out the rear lateral link bolt on my red JDM EJ205 swapped 2.5RS twin to yours. :P Jesus man. I sure hope if you have to do a rear wheel bearing on that thing in the future that bolt isn't rusty like mine. :'(

[@turbohcar]

Lights are the second best garage mod of all time right under a lift. Both are life changing. I have 9 4,000 lumen 4ft shop lights from Costco in my 3-car garage and it’s nearly like a paint booth it’s so bright. Stoked!

[@subydude88]

Saw a Cleetus video today with you helping him on the corvette, but all I could focus on was those lights!! I was so psyched to see you had this video, will definitely be doing this in my shop I just built onto my house. Thanks!!

[@reidlavigne8069]

This guy has got to be the number one wrenching youtuber! He is the only one of his friend group that didnt get changed by money. Keep up the awesome content man!

[@somethingtowatchhere]

You should do a aerial camera view, for when you're working on cars, like you do with the drone

[@thedestroyer3262]

Looks so much better with the new lights, the lighting is a nice and crisp white on video not yellow like before and it basically eliminates shadows. Now all you need is some epoxy floors and it will be looking like a show room.

[@gotthumbs2235]

New lighting is steller. I actually purchased the six pack of lights for my own garage after watching you install them at the old house. So much better and super easy to setup. Energy efficient to boot. Great content as always....

[@TheSoulFallen]

I never thought garage lighting layouts could be so interesting. Holy crap lol

[@wyohotrods]

I'm glad I watched this. I had been trying to think of a lighting solution for my garage.

[@vancemccarthy2554]

It's like a showroom lighting setup. So cozy and inviting.

[@fallenbullseye]

I'm a sucker for lighting upgrades. It's such a bright and effective idea.

[@johnparrish9215]

Now all you need is a serious fan from the bigassfans.com company

[@SirVic42]

BigAssFans are awesome. Great company too!

[@ryanolson6794]

We use their fans in all of our gyms on JBLM.

[@evandorin8191]

The oil pan on Ben's engine looks like some crazy sheet metal nascar inspired intake at first glance and i love it haha. Lights look amazing too. I need some of these for my shop.

[@rei39]

What a difference, nice work taylor. Take note of @legotec49's comment about only linking 3 together. That could be your issue with the middle row.

[@carsonclonan228]

You should move the UFO light further from the wall and point it into the bench to get rid of some of them shadows

[@jaywest4102]

What the hell Taylor. Think man! Can’t let Ben get up on ladders like that. What happens if he gets injured. Protect Ben above all else.

[@dvnklxrd]

Hey Tay, you should upgrade to external mics for you and Ben. Would make the audio so much better.

[@mountainwild5474]

@Taylor Ray , such a "small" upgrade but changes the whole vibe of the shop and esthetics!!!

[@keithkalson4722]

time to get a bunch of solar panels to power all these lights!!!!

[@mdavidson101]

Congrats man. Good lighting in your shop is a great feeling.

[@dustinrider8113]

What an upgrade for your personal life as well as your channel! Good for you man love to see it!

[@dubCanuck1]

I used those clips. Trick was to give the corrugations inside the "C" a little whack to flatten them out a bit, then the would wrap around the light properly and make them tough as hell to remove.

[@davidsbielawski]

The next time you have to do those lights and it’s important to have a straight line. Pop a chalk line on the truss first! Awesome video man!!

[@nickkiefer2998]

Going to the store clip was lovely 😂

[@mrlithium69]

@5:40 T: If you had a buncha fancy stuff up there.... >B: Theres not fancy stuff up there!?! T: Yea im saying IF..... >B: *grumbles* Theres a hardtop..... that counts as fancy..... lol, funniest part...

[@johnparkerthegimpygardener]

On the 4 foot runs you could have gone to a higher kalvin , a lot of people like warm white which is very low kalvin . I my self buy 7000 calvin , a very white light . makes a big difference also . If you have access to and airless paint sprayer and paint every thing up above with some cheep white paint you would find it would be like day and night . Love having light

[@BOOT]

LED's are GREAT! Been finally phasing out my fluorescent lights and can't wait until I get all LED!

[@Lucra.Living]

This is making me more anxious/excited to get into a shop in November. Think because of this i’ll focus on good lighting first. Very Helpful ❤️❤️💛💛 Love your videos!

[@jordanosborn1814]

Focus on good lights though cheap just almost always isn't good 90watt led high bays if not bigger are amazing in shops

[@Lucra.Living]

jordan osborn awesome! Thank you!!

[@bigwillie1384]

Shops looking good Taylor !! The lights look dam good !

[@jawnbul5701]

looks great, just ordered some for my garage, i read in the reviews someone noticed that the wires inside one of their lights was not soldered, so maybe check for that.

[@no_good_reason]

Shop lighting is key to midnight wrenching. Often overlooked ...at first. Good video. What are your shop dimensions?

[@Taylordrifts]

Good lights are key for all wrenching. Lol It’s 40x50.

[@Barrenchats]

This video was very enlightening , not just by my eye, but in your's as well.

[@TeonCyndi]

shop looking sharp taylor

[@Victor2924]

Shop upgrades are the best. Keep pushin bro do more upgrades

[@Aw4k3nedGamer]

If you want to get rid of those long shadows the ufo light casts on the stuff on your pegboard you could hang it from the ceiling behind the bench and angle it at it, and maybe put a diffuser in front of it like a photo set

[@thomasbooth9079]

I have those lights in my shop, good lights but those clips are less than ideal for holding them up. Mine also had a connection for putting them end to end without the cord, that was terrible, they would lose connection as the temperature changed during the day. Best thing about them is that they make a nice even light, no dark spots or bright spots around the shop.

[@Erd_Geschoss]

On camera the main difference shows up nicely with daylight outside. Before it was literally dark inside, when you pointed the camera even to a half open door.

[@marshallbevers8889]

You should definitely do another welding video!

[@Syrian.Fathead]

Dude with that much of a difference from lighting video quality will passively be better, super cool upgrade.... and hopefully puts more passion in the work

[@GODLlKE]

About time this place got lit

[@trevort4286]

So hyped for you guys

[@rollymora1199]

You can add the 4 footers to the garage door so when its open u still have light ontop of the lifts or on the cross bar from the lift

[@MrJono546]

"does a hard top count as fancy" Ben out here asking the real questions

[@oceanious22]

[@brentjohnson6654]

New sub here. I am interested in putting LED lights in my garage/shop like you have done here. I have a couple of lame incandescent bulbs in the shop. My garage is a metal building with purlins - fun to put walls on. Haha. Thanks for the ideas!

That’s a satisfying before and after 👌

*Hey man, is there anyway to cut the audio on the timelases to 50% to save those of us who may be using headphones?*

Nothing wrong with the audio, I use headphone all the time and the audio is fine.

[@thebigfut]

You never mentioned it, but did you test all of the lights before putting them up? I mean, just a thought.

[@austincarter4863]

Love ya Taylor and everything but my opinion is that personally I prefer music or the actual time lapse sound instead of the fake sounds

[@patrickjrgensen738]

the shop is looking good :D

[@Backwardsboi24]

Lmfao. I’ve also dropped one of those collapsing ladders right on the top of my foot. Had it full extended straight and instead of fighting it to lay it back down by myself. I figured I’d cheap and retract the lower level. Foot was swollen for a few days and hurt like hell!

[@icyphilippe]

you could alwazy do brackets to hang the 4 footers on either side of the top of the lifts to get light straight in the cars on the lift

[@MrNicoe36cabrio]

Wow, That's a bunch of light!

[@eRRoR1139]

Looks like an awesome and very practical upgrade! 🔥🔥 My OCD would drive me crazy becouse of that non-working line though. 🙈😂

[@benndover7031]

It would be cool to have a little add on shelf on each welding cart to throw the plasma cutter on, 1 shelf that could add on to either welding cart

Now you need one of those big ass ceiling fans.

[@jzehren11]

It's so lit fam!

[@DanDreese]

I just bought that same ladder, it rules

[@euba0149]

Those lights look like Sarin energy lights 8’ integrated lights .. I’ve serviced a bunch they don’t work good in auto shops because those connectors rattle loose when running compressors and machinery i pronably did 15 service calls in 6 months all just to plug those connectors back in . And the mounts are not very strong at all and the lights will fall ... I wish I could of done the lighting for you

[@dubCanuck1]

When you chain the lights, figure out the "order" they go in. When chained, there's a direction they must be chained in.

[@kieranpalmeira103]

should get the floor coated too.

[@JzxGibbs]

damn this looks solid

[@dylanruppert2355]

Looks rad

[@aaronhayden1780]

You should put those ufo lights straight above the engine bay when a car is o the lift so you get a spotlight on it

[@danielcgomez]

Still planning on moving out? lol ...shop looks great!

[@Josh-cg]

I really wonder if the electric bill is really high with all the lighting ?

[@onemansgarage9658]

[@patonb]

Power bill will be interesting

[@patw52pb1]

It will increase significantly if all 50 fixtures are used. Each of the 50 LED fixtures consumes 72 Watts of electricity, all 50 fixtures consume 3600 Watts (3.6 KW). The average residential electric utility rate in the greater Orlando, FL (Orange County) area and most of FL is approximately $0.12 per KiloWatt hour (KWh). Each fixture costs approximately $0.00864 per hour to operate. 25 fixtures cost approximately $0.216 per hour to operate. 50 fixtures cost approximately $0.432 per hour to operate.
